LITERARY SDNY, June 27 – As Josh Schulte plodded on with his cross examination, today of FBI agent Michael Berger, it became a surreal way of testifying.
Schulte asked Berger, did you know that I often played League of Legends the video game until 4 am?
Berger deadpanned, That wasn't part of my forensic investigation.
But he had to admit a few times they had not direct evidence that Schulte was the source of the leak to Wikileaks.
Next up would be Jeremy Weber, and Schulte told Judge Furman he might have to ask Weber about the "bar tender."
Kurt Wheelock perked up - now things might get back into the nerf gun battles that features so prominently in the first trial, and seemed to have led to the mistrial.
The Assistant US Attorney during an absence of the jurors - one of whom already had come down with COVID - complained to Judge Furman about the length of Schulte's cross examinations, how they now couldn't be able to close by the end of this the third week of trial.
Then would come Schulte's witnesses, however many Judge Furman might allow. Wheelock was still hoping for Mike Pompeo. There was something about Wikileaks. More on Patreon here.
